I got it from a new place to try it and it came rolled like salami.
I normally cut my guanciale into 50-60g pieces, vacuum seal and stick in the fridge. I started cutting and the sides that were in the roll (1st & 3rd pics) look weird. It also smells different than the place I normally get it from.
Thoughts?

Looks like a really weird cut tbh
It looks like it’s been exposed to too much room temp air
In my opinion, based on what you wrote, it should be thrown away: guanciale should always be very well-aged, it should be hard to cut. From what I understand, yours was so soft it was rolled up. The smell is also very important, but that’s something only you can check. I would throw it away—after all, a whole guanciale costs at most 25 euros.
In which e-shop did you buy It?
